Privilege 482 SCOUT

S/V Scout is a well-maintained 1992 Privilege 482. This owner requires financial settlement only. No trades. There are boats that say proven blue water cruiser then there's a boat that's actually done it. Scout has safely circumnavigated twice, both times with children onboard, and is ready for her next lap around yours! No need to plug in ever. With a very large solar array, a new inverter, and new lithium-ion batteries, you can sail around the world living off-grid the whole way. Like downwind sailing with a big nylon headsail but nervous about getting it down in big winds? A new Code D nylon headsail on a continuous furler makes deploying and furling a big headsail a piece of cake all without going forward. Go wherever you want without leaving the comforts of home behind; there is a large washing machine and plenty of power for kitchen appliances. Air fryer, blender, coffee maker no problem. Most amount of space for the money: five bedrooms, four bathrooms, lots of kitchen counter space, and abundant storage. Cruise in comfort without feeling cramped. We'll make the transition seamless. When we moved on Scout, we had so much to learn and the prior owner invested dozens of hours answering every question we had. We want to pay that forward and will do everything we can to make sure you learn your new boat and are ready to set sail. Ready to go exploring? This blue water ready, five-cabin Privilege 482 catamaran will get you there. With two circumnavigations completed within the last 14 years, Scout has been there, done that and has the track record to prove it. Whether you want to set sail for remote islands in the South Pacific, leisurely cruise the Caribbean, adventure in the Indian Ocean, or head around Africa, she has recorded track routes to get you there and back again safely and comfortably. Travel the world and cruise in safety and comfort. This blue water designed, five-cabin Privilege 482 catamaran is known for strength, stability, and sailing performance, not to mention a luxurious interior. She is a fully upgraded, full-time off-grid floating home ready for her next journey. This is not a project boat; you can step aboard and push off to wherever you want. What we like most about this boat. Scout is a rock-solid, well-built boat that will take you anywhere you want to go. We have trusted her completely to keep our family safe at sea. Privileges were semi-custom and are renowned for their robustness of build. Compare the size and quality of the rigging, boom, mast, and interior woodwork used on Scout to a typical production boat and you'll see why they inspire confidence. When you're in the middle of an ocean with your family onboard, the peace of mind gained from being in such a strong boat is priceless. The decks are high enough that she is a dry boat even in large seas. She is fast and stable in trade wind conditions. In lighter winds she is not breaking any speed records, but the spinnakers and Code D nylon sail keep her moving at a good pace. Every cruising boat is a compromise and this one provides a good balance of safety, comfort, and voyaging capability. Scout is a go-anywhere boat that sails surprisingly well upwind for a catamaran, a function of her deeper keels. The spaciousness has been perfect for our liveaboard family and even supported two families for over two months on an expedition from Australia to Thailand. Each of our two children has the privacy of their own en suite cabin. There is an extra cabin for guests and another used for storage. There is plenty of table and floor space for entertaining, school, playing, and exercise, which makes a difference on passages and on days when you're stuck on the boat. Remote work is supported. There is tons of storage on this boat, including under all the settees of the main saloon. More importantly for a catamaran, the weight of extra gear and other heavy items does not slow this boat as much as it would many lighter catamarans. There is also lots of headroom; no problem walking around even at 6'4" tall. We love the huge kitchen. It makes all the difference and the boat feels like home rather than camping and making do in a cramped space. Having entertained and lived aboard for many years, we really appreciate the galley down. The mess of cooking is contained out of sight and the galley does not take up valuable saloon space. The extra room and counter space have allowed us to make great meals on board and to teach our kids to cook.
